WELCOME
We are located in Princeton, Minnesota which is a small farming community in Central Minnesota. Claybury is about an hour and a half north of the MSP airport. Claybury is owned by Timothy J and Renee JG Bush.
ABOUT US
Claybury breeds, raises, sells, and trains American Shetland Pony Association (ASPC) and American Miniature Horse Registry (AMHR) small equine. Tim and Renee started out as die hard large equine owners trail riding and riding in shows.
Then a good friend (Dr. Zehrer DVM) happened to have a miniature by the name of “Painted Medicine Man” aka “Doc” for sale. Doc was purchased then Tim decided to have him trained to drive professionally and well…Tim and Doc hit the show ring! Doc exceeded our wildest imaginations! National Champion in Amateur Roadster! We were hooked!
Renee soon got her own mini named Lot Sa Fun Wonders Mirage “Mirage”. She was a huge success too! National Futurity Champion in Halter, Driving, and Roadster! Tim added a second gelding “Rider” who won nearly every class he walked into. Rider was a terrified A division miniature and Tim had his work cut out for him! Once Rider had gone as far as Hall of Fame in halter, Renee offered her husband to train Rider to drive (a Christmas present). No one thought that this terrified Miniature would ever drive! Renee trained Rider to drive and went Reserve National Champion in Gelding Pleasure Driving at Nationals!
There were many successes with the miniatures but the shetlands looked interesting so Renee went and purchased one for themselves as well as taking on a few for clients. They were extremely successful with a National Grand Foundation Classic Stallion “Rhapsody’s Reign Man” and soon thereafter another Grand Classic in Classic Shetland Under with “Rhapsody’s Fashion Heir”. Both stallions Claybury owns now thanks to the breeders Linda and Shari Seddon. We are still in the business but winding down all programs so Tim can retire. Renee may continue to train a select few for halter and driving. She still judges small shows, teaches clinics, lessons, and coaches a handful of awesome 4Hers!
ALL HORSES AND PONIES (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A SPECIAL FEW) ARE OFFERED FOR SALE. SEE OUR PAGES TO SEE WHO IS AVAILABLE.
After many successful years, we have closed our training facility. THANK YOU to our wonderful clients over the years! Althought we no longer offer training services, we welcome you to read about some of our success stories.
Renee holds a degree from the University of Wisconsin in River Falls in Equine Science and is a graduate of the former Vocational Technical program “Horse Care & Stable Management”. Renee is carded AMKR, ASPC Classic and ASPC Modern judge and also holds her cards in AMHA and POAC.
